Default Rear Wiper Project?

Well..i've had just about enough of this rain and **** snow.. and i really wish i had rear JDM glass to reap the benefits of clear rearward vision. Anyone have a clue as to A) how to install jdm rear glass (where do i even find one?!) and B) if not find a rear glass section from a jdm lude..how to install a discarded wiper from many of the teg owners on this board...
if anyone has any feedback..feel free to speak up. thanks.

why would this be hard? you could mount a motor in your trunk and have the blade swing from the bottom right?

It doesn't _seem_ hard. I guess the hardest part would be keeping water out of the trunk.

you prelude guys are funny. When I had my civic and my integra, I was looking for ways to remove the wiper. I guess when your car weighs 2900 lbs already, a couple pounds here and a couple pounds there wont hurt. . .

I don't have a problem with it. **shrug**

Rain only hits it if you're going slower than like 20, & some RainX will take care of that. Same deal with snow, if you happen to be going slower than like 10 mph, just keep your defroster on & it'll melt as soon as it touches.

I have been working on this project. I have had the parts for about 6 months. Unfortuately my car has been in the shop for about 5. If you get all the parts you should be OK. My only problem is trying to mount the motor. On the JDM cars, they have 2 pieces of metal that stick out in there trunks that we don't have. I have been trying to find someone in the UK or Ausstralia to take a picture of theres so I can duplicate these parts and get them welded in the exact place they need to.

This is my problem right now. I have the wiper arm, the motor, the switch on the steering wheel, and right now the window is already installed on the car. I have just put a cork from a wine bottle in the hole so no water gets into my trunk. Does anyone know where I can get this picture.
